So do we! Lauren's attention to detail in both her drawing style and gardening style is a perfect match.

Lauren's squash game is no joke.

We're fortunate that our host is a director of the Quadra Island Salmon Enhancement Society. She's taught me so much about the salmon, and I've even had a chance to help her improve their run in a dry season.

We generally recommend stocking up to last through the week of the retreat, but if that isn't possible we can discuss options! There is one pharmacy on the island about 30 min from the house, and we can put you in touch with them and easily arrange a run to town if that's necessary.

Magic, laughter and art are natural companions, as Wayward Retreaters know!
A blurry pic of a retreater laughing hysterically near a piñata A handwritten daily schedule, decorated with drawings. Text reads: Day 4, Saturday. Mainly sunny, high 20 degrees (Celsius). Breakfast: Almont Croissants & poached Eggs. Optional Field Trip-- May Day "Mycelium Madness: Flora, Fauna & Fungi. Lunch: Japchae bowls & oysters if someone wants to shuck them. Dinner: Farmhouse roast night. Evening Activity: "Repatterning the 90's Sleepover!" A retreater grimaces skeptically over a piece of driftwood with a tag attached, reading: "Shing-- please create a piece of erotic drift wood art using this driftwood. --Mad Dog" A retreater crouches near an assemblage of painted signed on a piece of wood, each with a string attached. The signs say odd things like "Caution- moon worm crossing," "Perspective watch on duty," "Focus Boredom and Nourishment LLC, wood sprites at law," and "comfort zone movers."
